</ul>

<p>The venomous jellyfish have also been&nbsp;spotted by lifeguards at Rosslare beach today&nbsp;who raised the red flag and advised beach goers&nbsp;not to&nbsp;swim as well as a number of beach along the Cork coast.</p>

<p>Beach goers are advised to only swim on beaches where lifeguards are on duty.</p>

<p>The Irish Water Safety Authority <a href="http://www.iws.ie/beach/jellyfish-safety.321.html" target="_blank">published</a>&nbsp;First Aid for the treatment of jellyfish stings:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Ensure you don&#39;t get stung yourself when aiding others&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Remove any attached tentacles with a gloved hand, stick, or towel (none of these available use the tips of your fingers)</li>
	<li>Do not rub the affected area (this may result in further venom release)</li>
	<li>Rinse the affected area with sea-water (do not use fresh water, vinegar, alcohol or urine)</li>
	<li>Apply a &lsquo;dry cold pack&rsquo; to the area (i.e. place a cold pack or ice inside a plastic bag and then wrap this package in a t-shirt or other piece of cloth)</li>
	<li>Seek medical attention if there is anything other than minor discomfort</li>
	<li>If the patient is suffering from swelling, breathing difficulties, palpitation or chest tightness then transfer to the nearest emergency department urgently</li>
</ul>
